Our house is in such disarray, I don't have the slightest idea where I might find a camera (much less the battery chargers), so no pics to update.
Dang!
But there is good news--the floor has been laid, sanded and 2 coats of polyurethane applied. We're waiting for the second coat to dry and fully harden. The directions say wait a week. We might. We might only hold out for a couple days. (The guy at Home Depot convinced the Mr. to get oil based, which is not what I would've picked, but will work and will probably hold up better against 2 wild dogs.) In the meantime, the fumes were strong enough to keep us out of the house all weekend.
We got the rocker base on Friday and C put it on the chair before I even knew it had arrived. The man is busy busy and I feel pretty guilty standing around being tired and unproductive. {46 days to go?}
I have been doing a lot of day dreaming about what the room might become. . .a dining room? A casual den?
Oh boy, thinking about dining room chairs again! We're ready to find ones we'll love for decades. These are all pretty affordable (except the Wegner Wishbone--upper right and in inspiration picture) which is $699. Considering some hospital bills are in our near future, one dining chair for $700 doesn't seem to be written in our stars.
The others are much more affordable--two are by Holsag Canada: upper left (Carlo - $62.19) and lower right (Courthouse - $173 ); and the bottom left is the Salt ($98) chair at DWR
